What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

I will offer you concrete ways of leearning how to communicate and truly be understood which is essential to restoring any relationship.

I help couples explore the possibility of re-launching their relationship toward one that is more emotionally and physically satisfying. Together, we look at limiting usage of familiar resentment and anger patterns. We discuss if it's possible to give amnesty to each other to transform the relationship into one that is grounded in friendship, where laughter & support exists. Many couples at some point become roommates where deep wounds exist due to loss of intimacy and possible infidelity. I help couples who have children together look at their co-parenting skills and explore ways to become a more "unified front" with their kids, this results in the family functioning together as a unit.

Many of the challenges faced by couples--married or not--involve an attempt to balance the desire for personal intimacy with the need for a sense of personal autonomy, although this is not necessarily obvious initially. I work with couples to help them achieve such a balance, while helping them develop a sensitivity to each other's needs. I also attempt to generate solutions that are experienced as fair and just by both parties, while maintaining my own impartiality. An especially valuable aspect of couples counseling for some involves evaluating whether the couple is a likely prospect for a marital relationship.

I work with couples to become more conscious and intentional in their interactions. I teach couples specific communication skills to break destructive patterns of relating. I encourage each partner to look and their own behavior and how they may be contributing to the problems. I explore with couples how the problems they are having in their current relationship are related to their experiences in childhood. I work with couples on eliminating reactivity by implementing self-soothing techniques. My goal with couples is to have both partners feel heard and understood by each other.
